Karla Jager, a Northern State University sophomore, appears in NSU's production of “Eurydice.” The play runs through Saturday at the Johnson Fine Arts Center. Jager, 20, is a graduate of Deuel High School in Clear Lake. Q. Have you been in many plays at Northern? A. I have been in four plays, one of which was student-directed. Q. What is your role in “Eurydice”? A. The Loud Stone. Q. How would you describe your character? A. The stones kind of make sure things are running as they should be down in the Underworld; you could see us as kind of the peacekeepers. Q. Why should people come see the show? A. “Eurydice” is a fresh and exciting look at a Greek tragedy. Sarah Ruhl is an amazing playwright and has done some wonderful things with the script that everyone can appreciate. Q. What has the experience been like for the cast and crew? A. I think everyone has really enjoyed it. The set has been a major construction project with bright sets and a number of exciting things we've been trying to engineer, like a raining elevator. All in all, it's been a great experience for everyone. Q. Why did you decide to attend Northern? A. I decided to attend Northern because it is in driving distance of my family and I was looking for a less expensive undergraduate school so I can spend all my money on graduate school. Q. What's your favorite movie? A. “As Good As It Gets.” Q. What was the best day of your life? A. The best day of my life so far has to have been the day my nephew was born. He's a little bundle of energy. Q. What person has had the most impact on you? A. My grandmother; she's an amazing woman. Q. Is there anything else you'd like to add? A. Come see “Eurydice”! You are sure to enjoy it!
